Today is re-clean the petcock, mount tank and seat. Hoping I can run the reserve line up and over the frame rails for easy removal if needed. I never liked the crossover setup as there is no way not to get fuel everywhere.

I've always hated the crossover setup on these, and other bikes (my RD350 had the same setup). On any bikes that I've tried to run the line over the frame, it wasn't going to work w/o getting pinched. Let me know if it works out.

I can't wait to see the final pics with the tank on!

No room to run the line on top of frame.

somebody, somewhere makes a trick little quick disconnect that guys over at Hondatwins.net all use. Just splice it in there, and as soon as you disconnect, a valve closes in each end....

Just installed one of these on the Dream. Expensive little part but well worth it.

Hey Toy how nice does that right side muffler need to be and what is your budget? I might have a decent one (maybe NOS) but its buried. Let me know.

All depends on condition. If it's NOS I'll be more than fair with you.

I need it that's for sure. Find some handle bars too.

Shoot me a PM when you get to it please. Thank you!

Does this look like what you need?

Sending PM.

toytuff · « **Reply #455 on:** March 21, 2014, 08:57:14 AM »

Yes, I believe that is the one.

Sold!

Thanks Larry!

Wow, never know when one pops up huh? That took a long time to find.

Now handle bars. Another part that eludes me.

Larry -- I need some of those too. Please let me know if you find any more!

Larry contacted me so I have him to thank on this. He will be a great contact in the future.

Hopefully I can return the favor someday.

@rtbmrgl -- I see a nice CB160, and possibly a CL160 in your avatar. I'd love to see pictures!

Thanks for the interest, here are the pics. A little history, bought it in the exact shape you see it about 4 yrs ago. I rode it around for awhile, daily driver to work. I bought it from an ex Honda dealer, he got it road worthy for his wife, added a few orig NOS, rear shocks and chain guard. It was primed and ready to be a beautiful restore.
I wasn't riding it so I sold it about a year ago, I had three other mid 60's Honda 90's that also went. My thoughts were I wanted the bikes to be ridden and enjoyed by another enthusiast, plus I got a '73 CB500 and planned to restore, needed the room.

I've been following Toy's build and have a 160 of my own (plus other stuff). Toy's bike needs to be finished and it'll be some time before I get to mine. It's only good vintage karma to help someone out, even if I did get paid. His bike deserves a chance in the sun again...so let it happen.
I'm in the vintage Honda business and try keep as many of you guys on the road as possible since I can't have or ride 'em all at once.
I don't like to plug but here it is https://www.facebook.com/pages/Kaizen-Vintage-Moto/579151338763550?ref=hl.
Thanks Toy!

It's a wonderful motorcycle to ride. Need a CB77 to go with it.

Well, if Larry builds me a CB77 I won't have any left.

Big "thanks" to Larry! Excellent job of packing to prevent damage.

Going to clean this up today with some Purple Magic and repack for now. Repair job is holding just fine but if/when it comes undone, which I'm sure it will, then I'll swap out. This will be stored in the house.

Hard to believe this has never been mounted.
